Paint the Town
Arts organisation Left Coast were looking for a way to visualise a bespoke Johnstone's commercial paint range in a way that would bring the palette to life. Based on an original commission by Laura Shevaun Green, each colour is inspired by real stories from Blackpool's people and places so it was crucial that this sense of character and place came through.
